Well, this is a random thought but how do you think the movie would be if it were to be filmed in live action,Any thoughs about the football head XDI think the double agent thing has been done to DEATH but what else?

I'm not sure you could find a kid with a football shaped head (though I did find an amusing button on facebook that said "Your head's so big when you walk down the street, people call 'Hey Arnold!'"). Plus the idea of a girl with Helga's eyebrow...weirds me out.

I still don't think he's working for La Sombra, but I tend to be optimistic, so that may just be my own naivety.

Ever since I found out about this movie I've gone over different scenarios of how it might play out, which is fun...but I still hope at the very least we get a novelization or graphic novel. Arnold deserves to find his parents, and Helga deserves to finally have her feelings returned.

.....Actually, I think someone did ask Craig once that if he did cast rolls for the characters in a live action movie, who would he cast...

I remember that he said Helga would be played by Francesca... because she's apparently the eternal Helga.

And when asked who he'd cast as Arnold, he said that he really didn't know, because it would be too hard finding someone with a football shaped head. XD

I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere... maybe I'm just hallucinating. *Shrugs* It's definitely possible. It's happened many times before... like the time I hallucinated that a hundred cowboy robots were in my house and were ransacking my refrigerator... yeah, maybe I did hallucinate that.

If anyone wants to prove I'm not crazy by confirming that someone did indeed ask Craig that once... I would be highly grateful.

I feel guilty I never bought a ticket to the movie or a copy of it. I didn't see it until it came on tv (it was on one of the big movie channels a few months after it was released on tape/dvd). I was still really embarrassed about liking cartoons as a teen when the movie came out, so I didn't have the guts to go watch it or even tell my parents I'd like to see it. >.< I still need to buy a copy of the DVD.

I had no freakin' clue that they made a movie when it came out... it was around the time I was avoiding "Hey Arnold!" like the plague. Geez, I hated that show. If I had seen some of the fifth season episodes... Wowza! I probably would've had a change of heart, but I was young and foolish. *Shakes head" But now I'm old, and my back hurts, and I'm on countless pills of medication...

So now I love it! It makes me angry at myself for not giving it a chance just because the characters weren't too pretty. The only eps I saw were the first season ones, and I think maybe one second season one. I just thought they were ugly, and Helga was a jerk. *Shrugs*

Ironic, no?

I think Eduardo-do, started on La Sombras side, but then switched over to the better side, and then La Sombra threatened him or something, and he rejoined him to trap Miles and Stella... but as soon as the task was done, La Sombra locked him up with them.... maybe?

As for Eduardo, I think we can only speculate his true character at this point. There were many instances in "The Journal" that showed that he could've been for either side.

I never say "Hey Arnold!" the movie. It came out when I was 12, and Entertainment Weekly gave the movie a bad review, and my mom reads that magazine like a Bible of sorts, so I never saw it. Man, if only we could turn back time and have that movie make big bucks...

I agree, we'll never know unless we can get the movie. -_- Total suckage.

And UGH! If I could turn back time, I would've watched the show everyday! And I would've went to watch the movie twenty times, and forced all my friends to go, too. But, alas, until we can get a hold of a time machine, we're doomed to the reality we have created for ourselves... a reality without TJM! *Bawls*

If I would work with Craig or Nick or both I would make a report telling them about how many kids like the show when shown to them. Tell them to bring it back and give reasons. Convince them to bring back the show (seriously as much as I love to bring TJM I still want more HA! eps!) Force... MAKE it get popullar. And then make the movie.Oh yeah, and the Patakis.

That's how it is with me. I'm twenty years old and I love "Hey Arnold!" now that I understand the subtle humor. Also, I can better appreciate the more mature themes that the show presented than I did when I was younger.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame ourselves for Arnold's downfall, though. The movie came out in 2002, and it was during the early 2000's that Nickelodeon as a network began declining in quality. Some people would say earlier, but the 1990's were the prime years of children's programming, and the decade in which it hit its peak and then began going downhill. Sadly, this not only applies to Nickelodeon, but to other children's programming networks, such as Cartoon Network and Disney.

During the 2000's, where shows with slapstick and toilet humor were becoming the norm, shows such as "Hey Arnold!", which were character and plot driven, contained actual development, subtle humor, mature themes that were handled tastefully, and that perfect balance between idealism and realism, simply couldn't compete.

It's a sad fact, but it's true. Sometimes watching "Hey Arnold!" makes my heart fall to the floor because it brings the realization that the quality of children's programming has diminished, with a few, rare exceptions. It also makes me afraid that subsequent generations will grow up stupid since everything in children's shows today has to be pointed out to them as opposed to letting the children look for the humor and other plot devices in the shows themselves. However, Arnold's massive fanbase proves that even if we never get "The Jungle Movie" or "The Patakis" that Craig Bartlett created a show that stands the test of time and is a true testament to solid storytelling. With all the seasons on DVD and the movie, we can make sure our children grow up with Arnold and aren't exposed to the drivel that clogs children's networking nowadays.

I'm not so sure I'd care all that much if "The Patakis" didn't get done. *Shrugs* It would feel too much like "Hey Arnold!" without the Arnold.

But yes, I say we all gather up our troops, and force down the walls! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES! We'll get tanks, and axes, and swords, and bombs, and fighter jets, and flame throwers, and rabid monkeys, and hummus!

YES! And we'll ambush them! They won't know what hit them! AHAHAHAHA! And then we'll get them to agree to our demands of more "HA!" and TJM and "The Patakis".
